But Taguig City is a bit like muslim central in the metro manila area. Yeah, I'm kinda generalising Muslims, but Taguig really is full of muslim residents from down south. Did you notice that there?
Why do Manilans (or whatever you call the people who live there) belittle the folks from other regions?
let the filipinos root and cheer for whoever they want. they don't really have much to root for to begin with.. you guys don't get it. I really didn't care about being filipino, then pac comes out and its like 'dayam, i'm really proud to be of filipino descent'. pac gives us an identity and a person that they can root for and relate to. Even though I got NOTHING in common with filipinos in general other than ethnic background, Pac gives us something to talk about. I wear my Nike Manny Pac T, everywhere I go..The comments I get from non filipinos is amazing. And even get hi fives from filipinos who I don't even know. Its hard to describe.
Head chopping is not popular in the urbanised cities, usually. :yep But fistfights, gang wars and stabbings happen there. Christians dont normally do beheadings. Unless they're psycho serial killer/drug crazed murderers.
Did you see the thread on here that asked people have they boxed or had any involvement training boxers?
I'm one of them from other regions. I'm teased about my intonation and way of speaking. That's just how it is, I feel. The country is 7,100 separate islands, and it's kinda tribal. Them vs Us. With hundreds of different dialects. If Filipino posters like enzo, kadyo and dozens of others talked in their native dialect, I will not understand them. We're not really a solid group, usually, the country. That's why it's a treat when Manny fights, because you can feel the whole country root for one cause. And the country feels like one team, for a single day.
Muslims, so? :roll: I was from down south in Phils this pisses me off, we need to love one another, there people like u too. Now go to them shake their hands LOL. Don't be scurred..
I didnt know that, was only a kid back then :nut I guess it is the reason why my uncle usually leg it before it get too violent. He never get into fights. My sister in law's uncle chopped a guy's arm off with a machete. This was in aklan, had to do with some guy trying to steal their land or something. I dont think they are muslims though.
Yeah, I know that. I dont hate muslims at all. The ones I know are cool. They are good to me. But I have to admit that the most violent of them seem to be more inclined to behead people than people from other places. Some places might shoot people, or stab them, or hack them with machetes or something, but somehow, chopping people heads off is not so common.
If I sounded like I hate muslims, it was not my intention. The ones I know are respectful, quiet, hard working merchants who are cool. I just answered the "beheading" comment and wanted to say that the country isnt really like that. The Philippines is a safe place to visit and visitors should not be scared.
Nope, we were headhunters in the past. Until Spainish supressed this practice. Whilst the Moro continued to do it. Have you heard of tad tad in Mindanao? they brutally killed innocent muslim people, stab, hack etc etc. There Christians atsch
